Luis Fuenmayor Toro, Venezuelan Holocaust Denier

“The inexistence of
the Holocaust is more than documented. You only need to read Rassinier’s “The
Lie of Ulysses”, Hoggan’s “The Myth of the Six Million”, and the book by Ilan
Pappe to know this. A holocaust is what we have today, live, in Palestine.” Wrote
on Twitter Luis Fuenmayor Toro (@LFuenmayorToro) on January 22.

Fuenmayor (read
his autobiographical note here), a medical surgeon, was Rector of the Universidad
Central de Venezuela from 1988 to 1992. A Chávez supporter he was Director of the
Venezuelan universities coordinating agency OPSU, and Minister for Higher
Education from 2002 to 2004. He later fell out with chavismo and is now
a critic of the Maduro government.

Fuenmayor has insisted
on his position while answering his critics via Twitter. Told that “there are
many documents [about the Holocaust],” he answered:

“Precisely, what we don’t
have is documents that prove what they say. What we have are movies, videos,
hoaxes [montajes], which were later
discovered and denounced by diverse people. Lech Walesa is no communist and he
was very clear [when he spoke] in the most emblematic concentration camp.”

In the same Twitter
line, Fuenmayor blames the “financial and propaganda power of the Zionist
entity called Israel” for the many answers (cayapa)
he has been receiving, as well as for the phone threats he claims to have received
after he posted his comment.
